What they liked

Visibly reduces post-acne marks and dark spots
Makes skin softer and brighter

What they flagged

Fragrance is strong and headache-inducing
Pilling when layered under sunscreen
Messy dropper, lotion-like consistency

What the gurus are saying

The fragrance is strong enough that some gurus find it intolerable, though others praise how noticeably it brightens and softens skin. Those sensitive to scent or already irritated by niacinamide may want to patch-test first; the high alcohol content amplifies the fragrance and can cause pilling when layered with sunscreen. The creamy texture makes the dropper application a bit messy, and at forty dollars for one ounce, the price is steep for what it delivers.

"But the fragrance on this serum is so headache inducing I could not tolerate it whatsoever. [...] I don't like fragrance in skincare because [...] it's a common allergen, it can be irritating, and [...] this isn't even a pleasant scent, it's a very cheap perfume smell. I think the low molecular weight alcohol in the formula is what's driving that strong, long-lasting fragrance."

*NEW* LA ROCHE POSAY NIACINAMIDE 10 SERUM REVIEW 🤔 @DrDrayzday

"If you already find niacinamide irritating, this is at a higher percentage so that could be an issue, and the dropper is a bit messy since the product is almost more of a lotion consistency. It is forty dollars for one ounce. Do I think this is a good or bad product? I do not like these dichotomies."
